I mean… really?!

You don’t have to look very far afield
To understand the power Trump will wield.
Whatever the cause, whatever the reason
He will make us believe that this is treason.
The Dems have been prepping for over three years
And the first night of the fight has ended in tears.

A maze isn’t trippy enough?

Just so that we’re absolutely clear

About what is really going on here

Mice were given psychedelic drugs

Since they were taking too many slugs

Of booze that made them a bit unruly

And tripping solves that problem truly.

Victoria’s Dark Secrets

It somehow feels quite unsurprising,
A lingerie company has scandals rising.
It’s the big men at the top who set the scene
Men who were friends with Jeffrey Epstein…
What could possibly go wrong as these guys write checks
In a company that sells the image of sex?

Another day in DC

Interesting to watch how this evolved
And to see how now it will be resolved.
The Dems have once again proved useless,
Their attempts to win anything sorta fruitless.
The GOP chose to make a radical cut:
Yeah he’s guilty, but ya know, so what?

Finally, is it over?

“Please sir, may I have some more…?”
One of Dickens’ most famous lines for sure.
But not one that any human uttered
About the Brexit news that cluttered
All form of media – reason was suspended.
So thank God in heaven it’s finally ended.

Comfortably Numb

Those masters of music in the band Pink Floyd

Had it right when they sang about the deep void.

The incessant shrieks of every political buffoon

Have effectively served to make us immune.

The threat of impeachment is in the air,

And our fatigue is so great, few people care.

We’re not in Salem anymore

One good way to avoid a witch hunt

Is to have a trial that’s not just a stunt.

The ladies of Salem were tossed in a pool –

If they swam they were guilty… very cruel.

It would seem that witnesses are essential

For any trial to be fair and consequential.

The company you keep

Man this guy is a real piece of work.

It seems he has a professional quirk –

Represent anyone no matter what

Who rapes or kills or peddles smut,

So long as they can help the cause:

Airtime on TV and fawning applause.

…or should I not be a tool?

I don’t know, this one is just not clear.

It seems these days that we live in fear

Of saying or doing something offensive.

And perhaps we could be a bit more pensive.

But before you call out another’s deep faults

Check if your own assumptions are doing a waltz.

Well that’s cheery…

Just seconds to go on the Doomsday clock!

Closing in on a moment of considerable shock.

Nukes and the climate and unstable rulers…

Make you want to pack beer into coolers

And head to a place where you can feel good

Since what else can you do from our neighborhood?
